The NSW government is providing $18 million in funding for an independent coronial inquest into the Bondi Junction stabbings that killed six people but has ruled out allowing security guards to carry stun guns or other firearms following the tragedy.
Premier Chris Minns announced the investigation this morning, saying the funding would be forwarded to the coroner's office "immediately" and that the inquest will have "full staff and resources".
"Concurrently an assistant deputy state coroner will be appointed for all forensic investigations that take place during the period of that public inquiry," Minns said.
